Hi Everyone, I like to create lists of my favourite songs in Excel, I then burn these songs to a Data CD for playback on my car stereo. Historically I have simply added each file to Nero using the file browser, which is quite time consuming, and I am now wondering if there is some way of importing a list into Nero. As my list is in Excel I would ideally like to be able to import either an xls / xlsx or csv file. Is there any way of importing a list of files into Nero to avoid manually selecting large numbers of files? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Davo
For example, you have a list (must be complete with paths) as below (assuming there are hundreds): D:\song1\Wagoner, Porter - Satisfied Mind.mp3 D:\song1\Price, Ray - City Lights.mp3 D:\song4\Young, Faron - Hello Walls.mp3 D:\song5\Horton, Johnny - North To Alaska.mp3 (If your list is in excel then copy paste it to ms word as unformatted text.) How to: 1. make the list above into one line (remember, only one line), like this: "D: \ song1 \ Wagoner, Porter - Satisfied Mind.mp3" "D: \ song1 \ Price, Ray - City Lights.mp3" "D: \ song4 \ Young, Faron - Hello Walls.mp3" "D: \ song5 \ Horton, Johnny - North To Alaska.mp3" So you need to add the " " and a space between the file name. If you use MS Word, use 'find and replace'> type in the box find what: ^p, in the box replace with: " ". Then click 'replace all'. Then you may need to add one " at the beginning of the line and remove one " at the end of the line. 2. copy the list that has become one line 3. Open Nero> Data> Make Data DVD> add 4. paste it in the box next to the add button 5. click add 6. now the file list is in the nero file list.

Hi aingtea11, I will definitely give your technique a go next time that I produce my "mixed tape". Kind Regards, Davo
